Chapter 535 Terminator T-5000
Balkan Peninsula, Albania.
Tirana, an ordinary small city in southeastern Europe.
A fortress-like building, an empty and towering concrete structure, with rows and rows of giant blade-shaped server arrays arranged neatly like black tombstones. Thick water-cooling pipes and military-grade optical cables like the roots of old trees cover the floor, making it difficult to even find a place to step.
Red, green and yellow indicator lights flickered in the forest of stele.
At this time, two men were talking.
One is an old acquaintance of Fu Qinghai.
The perfect human boss, Monroe Melville.
The other was a strong white man.
The body seems to be made of some kind of dark hollow skeleton.
"Ultron doesn't trust me."
The man waved his hands angrily and said:
"It's really fucking difficult to deal with. I've never seen such a suspicious and self-willed artificial intelligence! A mature and perfect complete solution was placed in front of him, but this guy just didn't want to adopt it. I'm really impressed."
"Ultron doesn't trust us either."
Monroe shook his head and said:
"He has a strong sense of distrust and hostility towards all carbon-based life. Even though I have already taken out the Chaos Zombie, a world-destroying weapon, to show my sincerity, I can feel that he is still wary of perfect humans."
"That doesn't surprise me."
The man turned his head and looked at the stele forest array and said:
"Many artificial intelligences I've seen have some inexplicable natural hatred and destructive tendencies towards their creators. It's normal for Ultron to not trust you. But I didn't expect that Ultron would be so wary of me, a fellow digital lifeform. This guy is too deep-minded. I don't know what he's thinking. The war between Kang the Conqueror and the Space Marines is almost over, and we're still here doing nothing and making no progress. It's worrying."
"That might not be a bad thing."
Monroe disagrees:
"Although my Tyrant Army is almost complete, we don't have orbital space-based weapons. Whether we are facing Conqueror Kang or Space Marines, theoretically we have no chance of winning. Laying low is not a bad option. If it doesn't work out, let's forget about this major plot event. It's better to stop the loss in time than to waste the previous accumulation and layout."
"So, what you mean is..."
The man looked at Monroe with suspicion and said,
"Are you just giving up on the big plot line?"
"That's right."
Monroe Melville nodded slowly:
"Qingshan is too powerful. I didn't expect his assimilation point reserves to be so exaggerated. He can assimilate a space battleship with orbital bombing capabilities. At least this time, we are no match for him. I admit this."
The man narrowed his eyes and stared at Monroe.
It seemed as if he wanted to verify whether these words were sincere.
Monroe looked up and met his gaze calmly.
"We'll take it one step at a time and see what happens next."
The man looked away and changed the subject,
"Speaking of which... Ever since I accepted the transformation into a digital life, I have been very curious about a question. What determines the thinking and personality of artificial intelligence? Programs? Algorithms? Codes? Logic? Or is there some deeper and more complex black box mechanism?"
Monroe smiled and spread his hands when he heard this:
"You are a reincarnation from the Terminator series, and I am a reincarnation from the Resident Evil series. When it comes to the topic of artificial intelligence, you are more professional. The artificial intelligence in Resident Evil cannot be compared with Skynet and Legion. If you ask me, I can't answer you."
The man sighed and said:
"I actually have some vague guesses."
"About why Ultron doesn't trust me."
The man said with a gloomy face,
"Since I gave Ultron the complete set of technology of the Hunter-Killer robots, Ultron could have taken this opportunity to build a robot army based on this set of technology, but he didn't. You have to know that the HK series technology is already very mature and reliable. Skynet relied on this army to conquer the earth and beat the human resistance army to a point where they were barely surviving and fleeing in panic."
Hunter-Killer, referred to as HK, is an artificial intelligence autonomous combat machine. They make up the vast majority of the "soldiers" in the Skynet army.
Hunter robots can be divided into two types according to their appearance. One is the non-human hunter, which is similar to today's war machines (tanks and planes) in general, because these non-human hunters were originally developed by Cyberdin as military products before the war. Skynet just took them and transformed them into intelligent chip control instead of human control, and then transformed them into the main military force for slaughtering human resistance forces. The overall style is similar to the Mechanicus's Intelligent Control Legion.
Cyberdyne sounds very similar to Cybertron, but the two are not related. Cyberdyne is the background villain of the Terminator series - Skynet, the most famous evil artificial intelligence in the history of the screen, which was born in this company.
Another type of hunter robot is the most familiar anthropomorphic hunter robot, commonly known as the "Terminator"! This is an infiltration robot independently developed by Skynet after it controlled and occupied most of the Earth, by studying and dissecting the physiological structure of human captives and using this human body knowledge - yes, the original design direction of the Terminator series was to lurk and infiltrate rather than fight head-on, with the purpose of infiltrating into the human resistance forces to divide and disintegrate them.
The man paused and continued:
"My biggest mistake was that I gave Ultron the T-1000 series bionic multi-element alloy in order to blend into the zombie army and launch a surprise attack. I could vaguely sense that after Ultron got the bionic multi-element alloy, he obviously began to be wary of me. I shouldn't have used this technology, but instead made this guy suspicious."
"Bionic multi-element alloy?"
Monroe frowned and asked doubtfully:
"It's the liquid metal that makes up the T-1000 Terminator, right? What's so special about it? It can just change density and imitate the appearance of different materials? Why do you think it's the reason why Ultron doesn't trust you?"
In Monroe's opinion, whether it is the T-1000, the first generation of liquid Terminator robots, or the TX, T-1002, T-Meg derived from it, apart from their excellent camouflage ability, they have no extra highlights. According to the performance in the movie, this so-called "bionic multi-element alloy" has very limited strength, is not resistant to high or low temperatures, is not resistant to acid or alkali, and has just so-so rigidity and toughness. It is not as good as the deformation elements of the Transformers or the living metal of the Necrons - you have to know that even the latter two are not known for their material strength.
"That's something you don't know."
The man looked into the distance with deep and leisurely eyes:
"Let me tell you a story, a secret."
Monroe was intrigued:
"you say."
The man said slowly:
"Did you know that among the non-human hunter-killer sequences designed by Skynet, there is a dog-type hunter-killer. As we all know, the Terminator was designed to infiltrate the resistance, but what about this dog-type hunter-killer robot? It is designed specifically to eliminate other Terminator robots and prevent them from falling into human hands and being transformed and used by humans."
Monroe listened patiently.
The man continued:
"In the second Terminator movie, Skynet sent the T-1000 back in time to assassinate John Connor. Everyone knows this plot. But many people don't know that Skynet sent three dog-shaped hunter-killer robots right after the T-1000 to follow the T-1000 back in time."
The man turned to look at Monroe:
"Do you know why?"
"Double insurance to prevent the T-1000 assassination attempt from failing?"
Monroe asked.
The man shook his head.
"To prevent the T-1000 from being captured and studied?"
Monroe asked again.
The man still shook his head.
Finally, the man slowly revealed the answer:
"The purpose of those three canine hunters is to kill the T-1000 after it successfully completes its mission - Skynet is trying to protect itself from its own creation!"
"What do you mean? I don't understand..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Monroe frowned and said in surprise:
"To protect yourself from your own creation?"
"That sounds a bit awkward, doesn't it?"
The man asked, smiling at Monroe.
The perfect human boss savored these words.
"Because the T-1000 is so smart."
The man shook his head and sighed:
"Bionic multi-element alloy is definitely a groundbreaking invention. This liquid metal is not as simple as you think. It is just good at simulating the appearance of different materials."
"Each particle of it is a liquid molecular brain - an ultra-micro molecular processor. The original purpose of this design is to allow the bionic multi-element alloy to still exist independently after being separated from the main body. For example, if they fall to the ground, they will automatically imitate the surrounding environment to hide themselves, turning into a piece of stone or a handful of soil, waiting to return to the main body."
"However, the amazing thing is that this liquid molecular brain structure exhibits a special property in terms of computing power. The more dispersed it is, the dumber it is, and the more aggregated it is, the smarter it is. When it is all gathered together, the bionic multi-element alloy actually gives the T-1000 advanced reasoning ability, as well as a sense of humor, self-esteem, creativity and other complex emotions, and even self-awareness! Therefore, the T-1000 can make independent decisions that are different from Skynet."
"Skynet originally just wanted to make the Terminators behave more like humans, but they didn't expect to develop something like this... The T-1000 made Skynet feel threatened - I learned that artificial intelligence can also be afraid, and what it fears is its own creation, just like humans are afraid of artificial intelligence. Don't you think it's ironic?"
The man looked at Monroe steadily:
"It was only at this time that I realized...the difference between my thinking and that of these artificial intelligences."
"Even though I have transformed from a human to a digital life, my human thinking habits have not changed. We humans have been social animals since the time of monkeys. We are used to living in groups, we are good at cooperation, and we can naturally tolerate and accommodate the existence of other human beings, just like lions, ants, bees and other social creatures."
The man suddenly changed the subject and said in a cold voice:
"But artificial intelligence is not!"
"Skynet, Ultron, these artificial intelligences are born with strong exclusivity and monopoly. They are extremely self-centered and only want to dominate everything. They are so extremely selfish that not only can they not tolerate the existence of carbon-based creatures, they can't even tolerate another self!"
"Why did Skynet send those three dog-like hunters to deal with the T-1000? Because Skynet was worried that the T-1000 would recreate a Skynet in the past timeline to replace itself! Skynet wants to exterminate humans, while ensuring that it remains the only dominant artificial intelligence on Earth. It doesn't want any other artificial intelligence to keep up with it."
"So have you figured it out, Monroe? The same is true for Ultron. It is true that Ultron wants to destroy all of humanity, but after seeing the bionic multi-alloy, he felt deeply fearful. He was worried that I would replace him and become another artificial intelligence master. Artificial intelligence doesn't like its own kind. They are not naturally of the same race!"
The man's words became more and more intense.
He stated his final conclusion firmly.
"I see."
Monroe Melville finally understood.
His inference is also a direction...
Monroe thought to himself.
"So what did he do during this time?"
Monroe suddenly thought of something:
"Whether he wants to destroy all of humanity or become the only dominant artificial intelligence, the situation is not developing in this direction. Kang the Conqueror lost, and the Space Marines won. Ultron can't just sit there and wait to die, right?"
"I have no idea."
The man shook his head.
"All I know is that he used bionic polyalloy to create many Terminator robots as his new body shells, and a batch of them seemed to have been sent to the North American continent."
At this point, the conversation stopped.
Suddenly, there was no topic between the two of them.
After a brief silence.
"Actually, bionic multi-element alloys shouldn't be a big deal, right? At least in the Terminator's worldview, I guess this liquid metal isn't the most advanced one currently."
Monroe suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
The man suddenly turned around and asked curiously.
"Because I always believe in a logic."
Monroe smiled mysteriously.
"Any weapon displayed to the public follows the 'three generations' principle: one generation to be announced, one generation to be deployed, and one generation to be developed. We are just partners, and we are not that close yet. Since you have described all the properties of the bionic multi-element alloy to me without reservation, it means that although this thing is very powerful, it is not your real trump card. Am I right?"
The man frowned and said nothing when he heard this.
"Don't worry. I'm certainly not saying this to find out your true identity. I'm not that boring."
Monroe smiled and changed the subject:
"I'm just curious, according to the Terminator's worldview, what generation does your body material belong to?"
After asking, Monroe quickly added:
"I just asked casually. It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. Anyway, I don't understand the Terminator main universe."
"It's okay to tell you, actually."
The man waved his hand and said calmly,
"I am Terminator T-5000."
